Badrinath Temple, Hindu temple in Chamoli district, India
The temple stands 50 feet tall with a gold gilt roof on the banks of the Alaknanda River at 3,300 meters in elevation.
During the 9th century, Adi Shankara discovered a black stone image of Lord Badrinarayan in the Alaknanda River and established the sacred site.
The temple houses a one-foot-tall black granite statue of Vishnu in Padmasana position, adorned with a golden crown and precious diamond.
The temple remains open for six months annually, from late April to early November, due to extreme winter conditions in the Himalayan region.
Near the temple entrance, a natural hot spring called Tapt Kund maintains constant warmth regardless of external temperature variations.
